That’s what happens when a country doesn’t value having educated citizens. It’s a real shame because teachers have to put up with so much from students, parents, school boards, politicians, etc. They deserve to make twice as much imo if not more
absolutely agree, here even a selebgrams (someone who are famous on instagram) earn more than a teacher. the influencer too, with with the content they create that even fools their audience, these content creators earn a lot of money, while teachers who are tasked with educating the next generation actually earn lower salaries than content creators. it's so ironic, but that's the fact here in my country
@@MarcTheGayBoithey get paid, easter Halloween, summers, and Christmas holidays off in UK so if summer holiday is 8 weeks 2 weeks at Christmas n Easter n week at Halloween they are off for 2.5 months a year so is the salary actually that bad?
@@SN-ig2ml they don't get paid additional money in the U.S. for those vacations, but the state rations their salary to cover those times off by shorting the paycheck each time. That is how all the teacher friends I have in Florida in both private and public school get paid.
Sadly that first number for salary is pretty common. I have a few teachers in the family and they all make about 30k/year or less, even in places like San Francisco. Teachers deserve better thats for sure.
@@wabeesabeez thanks for doing what you could while you could. You definitely deserved more, teaching even 1 person is a lot of work and often there's 20+ pupil per teacher.
I work for a school board and can tell you that starting teaching salary for my public school board is $65,000/yr. The median is $80,000/yr. They also only work for 179 days a year, having 186 days off. So they make about $446/day. In doing the math quickly, after a quick google search I can see that teachers in San Francisco work 178 days a year. Even if they only made $26,193, that’s still $147.15/ day. Mind you, public schools are public record and it’s easy enough to see that teacher’s salary in SF start at around $42,161.04 ($236.85/day) and top out at around $124,167 ($697.56/day)
For the part time careers, it would be cool to have you build up an apartment shell, then each of the part time careers can be in a different unit. For an extra challenge, after finding out the yearly salary you could then cut it in half since it’s supposed to be part time!
Unrealistic! You need minimum two different sims with part time jobs to rent an apartment, give them each a bedroom or designated space and then they share the main areas
I work in education and I'd say 40K is a pretty average salary for teachers. You did good there. And I feel like a 2 bed/2 bath home with a small office is pretty reasonable in a rural area but the average teacher isn't likely to be able to afford a house like that. But it's a cute home!
Oh yeah, the Sims games are great to learn budgeting tricks (stick to cheap and learn to upgrade/customize stuff yourself and cook and clean yourself), but the economy is very unrealistic. Especially now
You saying “we’re not that desperate” while still having to make sacrifices and not being able to get everything that you really want , sums up a teachers lifestyle perfectly 😂😂
most starting salaries for teachers are somewhere in the 30k realm and it takes a very long time for there to be a noticeable raise. thank you so much Ashley for giving us some representation
So my grandma worked at a pre school and earned about $25k a year. Worked her way into teaching early childhood education at a community college and was making about 55-60k a year doing that. My mom was a professor at a university and she made $80k a year doing that and by the time she retired she was making $150k a year. So it truly depends on what your doing, where you live, where you work, etc. It seems kind of random honestly. All teachers should be making at least 70k a year or more. They do so much and it's mostly a thankless job. Besides your students at least.
I have a fun idea for a series You could ask your subscribers to make old-looking houses with annoying layouts and the sims that live there, then you can renovate their houses with the sims' needs and interests in mind. To make it more challenging, you could have your subscribers also choose which walls are load bearing.
Teaching depends on a lot of factors. Where you work, what degree level, and as you teach longer you make more. In my county, teachers start off at 53,000.
Budgeting in the sims is extremely difficult, I've never built a house that was below 60,000 simoleons (I like the finer things in life lol). I'd love to see a build for one of the part time careers next, like the fast food worker. That would be interesting.
I’m in university studying to be a teacher. This is a great video concept! I would love to see a salary building video for a freelance career or for one of the part-time careers. I think that would be interesting. :)
Girl I am begging you not to use a generative AI to search for information. Despite it having intelligence in its name, gen AI like LLMs don’t actually know anything. It’s just using statistics to figure out from the (often stolen) sources it’s been trained on what would be the most likely words/numbers will come next. While often does give good answers, but good grief does it sometimes spit out absolute rubbish. My university students used a lot of it for their final projects (I wasn’t aware until I started reading their work) and the amount of points I had to deduct for information that was completely wrong or made up was astonishing
I completely agree! I cannot believe university students would rely on AI to source info. Wikipedia wasn’t even considered a reliable source when I was in uni let alone ChatGPT 😂 For the sake of this video it simply illustrated/confirmed the large range of salary figures I found during my initial research, so I decided to include it to push forward the premise of the video.
@@hashtagmate idk I just think that people should be able to get a correct answer when they ask a question regardless of the setting they ask it in 🤷♀️ I do understand Ashley’s decision here, but I also know that a lot of people don’t actually know what a LLM does and seeing it used as a search engine will encourage use of it for that purpose. They are working on a search engine variety of chatGPT, but that isn’t here yet.
Thank you for saying something! I actively cringed. The fact of the matter is that if chat GPT doesn’t know the answer it makes something up & doesn’t tell the user that it has done so….such a garbage technology.
I have profs that make us use it😭🤣 and show us how we can use it as a first draft principal. Matter of fact one showed us how to make lesson plans with it. Not saying that’s it’s credible but it can be used in ways to help with the overall writing of things. I guess a lot of my professors see that it can be useful tool if used correctly. And that students are going to use it matter what. So they would rather show us the right way to use it.
I love how much thought and attention to detail you have, like the idea of having a "scholar" background for a zoom meeting, like I never think of things like that, its so refreshing ~~
Why not use the debug catalog for the flowers/garden as they tend to add up the budget? Also, there are some great clutter items too for decorating the inside. You could really budget the cost.
I think the whole idea is to make it a challenge, making something liveable but still cute within the budget with no cheats. but if you're building just for fun this is definitely a great tip!
I was making $31,000 my first year teaching-roughly $26,000 take home pay-and that was the highest paying district in the state. I think a way to make this challenge more realistic would be to take out other expenses like insurance, groceries, etc. But as it stands, I do think this is an easier way to do this challenge.
I know youve done 2 episodes already but I think it would be fun if you incorporate the unlockable rewards from the careers into the builds (and it doesnt take away from the budget)... Im sure viewers wouldn't mind you going back to the others and adding them 😊
What a cute house! I think you should include at the start picking up things/essentials you think that career would need so that it is already removed from the budget and you won't worry about not gettting them later :)
just wanted to say i love watching your videos as someone who cannot afford a good laptop or pc to run the sims, and also cant afford all those expansion packs 😭 i appreciate your efforts so much and i watch your videos to relax and sleep at night ❤
I’m not a Teacher but I am Married to one. It typically ranges based on state and district you are teaching in. also, it typically scales based on years of service and you can also be bumped up on the scale if they attain any additional education (such as finishing a Master Degree in there content area). In my state 50,000 is the starting pay for teachers. Private and Public schools will also affect the pay range.
hi, i’m a future teacher and tbh i’d live in this house in a heart beat but i’d add a couple pet things, and if possible an extra office/desk for the husband. i love this series! you should do a lawyer, a custodial worker, or a garbage service worker next!
Google was correct. Teachers really don’t make a lot of money in most places. Where I live an assistant manager at a fast food restaurant makes more than a teacher who’s been teaching for 5+ years.
Oh man there are so many factors that influence teacher salary. First thing is obviously where you're teaching. I'm in Ontario, and the pay scale can vary depending on what post secondary education you have. If you have your masters, you're automatically placed in the top A4 factor pay scale. I started around 70k. It also depends on how long you've been teaching. For up to ten years, your salary increases by 1 to 2 percent each school year. ALSO. The grade you teach does matter, but only to a certain extent. Elementary (k-8) are all on the same pay scale, but secondary is on another as far as I'm aware. So it honestly really depends!
It is astonishing to me how little some teachers make! I am a teacher from Kuwait and teachers have one of the best salaries in the country along side doctors and engineers due to their high education and hard work.. I make over 55,500 US dollars per year and every couple of years the salary increases by 25,000 dollars a year, it’s only fair since we work hard 😅
Teacher here and this a cute fairly accurate representation of what we can afford. However, probably needs a spouse because a single parent on a teacher’s salary is not going to afford a house. Next could you do someone with a part time job? They probably need an apartment in a run down section. Love this challenge of this!
Am I the only one who was watching her use the 200 simoleon kitchen counters and then say where'd the budget go? Choose cheaper counters, Doctor Ashley! That will work better in the long run. That or maybe include an additional 10k just for the exterior and landscaping so that you have a fair amount to use for your interior. I love this series so far but it truly shows just how little we make in the real world. Next career suggestion is a Doctor.
I'm not even a subscriber but I ended up recommended this and it's actually really interesting challenge. You did well despite having to keep to a budget.
Love the exterior of this house (and the interior too!) If only i could actually afford something like this with a teachers salary. Even when you get paid over 50,000k a year, your first couple of years are spent paying off loans and living with roommates.
I really enjoyed this video! I enjoyed the “theme” of the challenge with choosing a career as budget and inspirations for the build! I also really like your style. This is my first time watching one of your videos and I’m an instant subscribe! I think you are the creator who styles the closest to how I like to. It’s nice to see for inspiration and tips! I love seeing what items others frequent!
The funniest part was imagining the teacher was helping her kid with homework, expecting the best grades, & teaching them chess early. I don’t have time after all my work for my students to help my kids 😭 I also have way more empathy for any learning struggles or differences.
As a teacher it’s a combination of a certain percentage above the standard cost of living in your area plus the tax funding for the district/state you’re in. It also increases a percentage for each year of service as an incentive. It’s pretty inconsistent honestly 😅😂
impressed as always with your work!! just blown away by your eye for color & ability to make homes look realistic and luxe at the same time :') tysm for acknowledging the ridiculous tv pricing omg, they really should update those to match what's current!! idk why they're stubbornly sticking with like 2004 prices lol
Public school teachers can improve their salaries by getting a masters degree in Canada, they may make more if they are the head/director of their faculty too. I believe you are paid more as a highschool teacher as opposed to elementary, and maybe more for special ed/gifted classes. Principles or admin usually also have higher salaries, and private schools also pay more.
I taught in Germany and made 24k a year. I moved to AZ and made 21k a year and then TX for 24k a year. Yes, teachers aren't paid anything. Most of what I made went back into supplying my classroom because there was no money for teachers for supplies. It was all out of pocket.
For transparency purposes I’ll share my experience in the education field. I’m nearly 60k in debt and as a teacher in Indiana I was making 42k by my third year. I no longer work as a teacher.
As a prior teacher, your salary depends on the county and state as well as how much education you have and your years of experience. I started at the lowest level at about 30k a year and didn't get above 40k in my 6 years of teaching
Is that with a bachelors degree? I think that’s extremely low with higher education. A manger position would pay more than that with just a hs diploma and experience. I know teachers go into it because they love it, there no other explanation
@@aliciaaa6021yep, that was with a bachelor's. That's one of the reasons I switched to a different career. I made more with no experience and no relevant degree than I did in my highest teaching position.
I’m a teaching assistant and I work with children with behavioural issues and I come home battered and bruised every day, completely exhausted and I earn just over £19,000 a year. It’s not worth it but someone’s got to give these children a chance.
both of my parents are teachers and I will say that location plays a big part, as well as experience. if you teach at a bigger school, you will earn more money. as well as if you work in a state with higher tax, you will earn “more money”, but in reality it has the same equality due to the cost of living. if you are an entry level teacher, you won’t make as much as someone who’s been in education for 20 years. also, high school teachers vs professors definitely differs.
US teacher here! Most districts have set pay scales based on what type of degree you have and how long you've been teaching. Your salary won't depend on your subject or grade levels, with a few exceptions. For example, special ed teachers get paid more in most districts.
My boyfriend said you should do one for mechanical engineering (his current major 😂). But I just graduated last week with my teaching degree so I loved this build! 40k-50k is about accurate, it all depends on the living costs of the place you live so while you may make more in a different state/city/country… it will all even out based on the cost of living.
The salary really depends on your state & district (not really your grade level), but many teachers have to get second weekend jobs/summer jobs to help pay for bills - especially in big cities
Public school teachers make between 30k-60k, 30k being closer for rural communities and/or earlier year teachers while the latter is for bigger cities and more seasoned teachers. Charter schools pay more, starting at 50k-70k, seasoned teachers making upwards of 80k for charters. This is for where I am at so do not quote me state to state. I am also basing this off my own personal salaries I have had.
Salaries are gonna vary widely from state to state and then even more for primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Confusion is natural 😆 It would've been so perfect in the kid's room to have a little basketball hoop on the back of the door to go with the carpet! Totally could see a kid doing that. This is a really cute design!
Loving this series. Personally I think that you should be able to use debug trees because trees (especially if they are older ones) are already there on the land. Just a thought. ❤
One thing I'd love to see in this series is start out with a non union wage build, then figure out how much more union workers make in the same field and continue the build with the extra budget.
Ahhhhhh never been this early before! My grandpa was a teacher and he passed away a year ago. He was the kindest person in the whole world and I love him so much ❤
I'd love to see an artist/painter's house or a bookworm's house :D I think it's gonna look good with a touch of personalities as artist/bookworm usually are creatives
In my country teacher salaries are pretty low but they also vary wildly. That's because a teacher can pick up a number of hours, from as little as 8 per week. there's also several "ranks" a teacher can have (they have to pass them, usually also includes an inspection of a class). Also varies whether or not you're a teacher for primary school or university and so on.
I just started the series, but I think it would kinda be cool for you to do 3 builds for each career, level 1, level 5 and level 10. So that would be entry, mid, and very experienced in real life working terms. I think it would be cool to kinda see that progression. I know it would be more work and time, but I think it could be cool
My aunt just retired after 40 years of teaching kindergarten. One of the bottom 5 US states for education, made under $35k by the time she retired. Health insurance was horrible and she lived paycheck to paycheck. Barely scrapes by now and is completely worn out. The last Christmas before she retired, she got out of the hospital after a weeklong stay and went straight to the store to spend her last few dollars on ingredients for Rudolph pancakes for the class party. Sweetest, most loving woman in the world who did everything for her kids despite the conditions and her own health battles, including a lifelong fight against severe depression. If I won the lottery, I’d buy her a house with A/C and a new mattress and take her on a real vacation. Teachers deserve so much more.
Down here in Brazil it varies a lot (wether you work for municipal, state,.or federal public institutions, or private schools). Here in the state where I live, a teacher working for the stat gets paid about around 48-52 thousand reais a year (that would be around 10 thousand dollars) to work 44 hours a week.
My only nitpick is the lack of a storage closet / laundry room for the washing machine, storing the cleaning stuff and vacuum cleaner, etc. Otherwise, it slays!
Random challenge idea. You should look up prices of items and try to match it w the sims. Ex. A couch on ikea is 400 find a couch that's 400 or around it
what career should we do next? 🙂

Love the exterior of this house (and the interior too!) If only i could actually afford something like this with a teachers salary. Even when you get paid over 50,000k a year, your first couple of years are spent paying off loans and living with roommates.
A painter career sounds fun! A little abstract/ outside the box vibe 😁
OML yesssss😝
how do you always manage to make such beautiful budget builds? you're so skilled, this build is gorgeous!
I really enjoyed this video! I enjoyed the “theme” of the challenge with choosing a career as budget and inspirations for the build! I also really like your style. This is my first time watching one of your videos and I’m an instant subscribe! I think you are the creator who styles the closest to how I like to. It’s nice to see for inspiration and tips! I love seeing what items others frequent!
I live in Quebec Canada. Step 12 (which is about 10 years after gratuating). My salary is now about 80 000.
The funniest part was imagining the teacher was helping her kid with homework, expecting the best grades, & teaching them chess early. I don’t have time after all my work for my students to help my kids 😭 I also have way more empathy for any learning struggles or differences.
As a teacher it’s a combination of a certain percentage above the standard cost of living in your area plus the tax funding for the district/state you’re in. It also increases a percentage for each year of service as an incentive. It’s pretty inconsistent honestly 😅😂
I think the office should had been upstairs and a bathroom is needed downstairs, but overall you did great. Very cute.
impressed as always with your work!! just blown away by your eye for color & ability to make homes look realistic and luxe at the same time :')
tysm for acknowledging the ridiculous tv pricing omg, they really should update those to match what's current!! idk why they're stubbornly sticking with like 2004 prices lol
Ashley, You should use debug! It helps a lot especially for plants and would help with the budget!
Also you should try a military job of sorts!
Public school teachers can improve their salaries by getting a masters degree in Canada, they may make more if they are the head/director of their faculty too. I believe you are paid more as a highschool teacher as opposed to elementary, and maybe more for special ed/gifted classes. Principles or admin usually also have higher salaries, and private schools also pay more.
A-List celebrity..mansion or multi story penthouse, partial snob, but is also a minimalist
As a teacher, I literally CACKLED when you said 2 stories 😂
How do you get your railing on the stairs to look like that? I haven't figured out how to get the wall to go on an angle like that. Amazing builds!!
ur videos are so calming 🙂
I was waiting for there to be a fruit bowl in the kitchen for the teacher to store all her apples 😂
I taught in Germany and made 24k a year. I moved to AZ and made 21k a year and then TX for 24k a year. Yes, teachers aren't paid anything. Most of what I made went back into supplying my classroom because there was no money for teachers for supplies. It was all out of pocket.
I was about to say - 40k would be a dream for a teacher to earn in a year in Germany 😅 especially in rural areas
Here in Argentina the salary for some (the most) of the teachers is around $6000, $7000 per year, so $30.000 doesnt sound so bad hahah :´)
For transparency purposes I’ll share my experience in the education field. I’m nearly 60k in debt and as a teacher in Indiana I was making 42k by my third year.
I no longer work as a teacher.
As a prior teacher, your salary depends on the county and state as well as how much education you have and your years of experience. I started at the lowest level at about 30k a year and didn't get above 40k in my 6 years of teaching
Is that with a bachelors degree? I think that’s extremely low with higher education. A manger position would pay more than that with just a hs diploma and experience. I know teachers go into it because they love it, there no other explanation
@@aliciaaa6021yep, that was with a bachelor's. That's one of the reasons I switched to a different career. I made more with no experience and no relevant degree than I did in my highest teaching position.
An Accountant please 💗
I’m a big fan of your TH-cam channel and I love your videos and can you please do the acting career in your next video. 2:03
I’m a teaching assistant and I work with children with behavioural issues and I come home battered and bruised every day, completely exhausted and I earn just over £19,000 a year. It’s not worth it but someone’s got to give these children a chance.
22:28 now I wanna see the family that lives here
both of my parents are teachers and I will say that location plays a big part, as well as experience. if you teach at a bigger school, you will earn more money. as well as if you work in a state with higher tax, you will earn “more money”, but in reality it has the same equality due to the cost of living. if you are an entry level teacher, you won’t make as much as someone who’s been in education for 20 years. also, high school teachers vs professors definitely differs.
i absolutely adore the first house based on teacher's salary i need it tbh
I’d love to see an actor career next!
i love this one! the vibes are so cute and cozy
US teacher here! Most districts have set pay scales based on what type of degree you have and how long you've been teaching. Your salary won't depend on your subject or grade levels, with a few exceptions. For example, special ed teachers get paid more in most districts.
I *love* these series builds that you’re doing! It’s genuinely such a great idea 💡 ❤ 👍
My boyfriend said you should do one for mechanical engineering (his current major 😂). But I just graduated last week with my teaching degree so I loved this build! 40k-50k is about accurate, it all depends on the living costs of the place you live so while you may make more in a different state/city/country… it will all even out based on the cost of living.
The salary really depends on your state & district (not really your grade level), but many teachers have to get second weekend jobs/summer jobs to help pay for bills - especially in big cities
Public school teachers make between 30k-60k, 30k being closer for rural communities and/or earlier year teachers while the latter is for bigger cities and more seasoned teachers. Charter schools pay more, starting at 50k-70k, seasoned teachers making upwards of 80k for charters. This is for where I am at so do not quote me state to state. I am also basing this off my own personal salaries I have had.
Salaries are gonna vary widely from state to state and then even more for primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Confusion is natural 😆 It would've been so perfect in the kid's room to have a little basketball hoop on the back of the door to go with the carpet! Totally could see a kid doing that. This is a really cute design!
Loving this series. Personally I think that you should be able to use debug trees because trees (especially if they are older ones) are already there on the land. Just a thought. ❤
Can you make a serie where you build a house in a world only using that pack from the world + base game
love this series
Thank you for picking my request! I would definetly love to live in this house
Love this series and your design choices.
You build so effortlessly! It's so satisfying. I gotta step up my sim build game!💛
Thank you!! 😊
I love this new series so much 🥹
One thing I'd love to see in this series is start out with a non union wage build, then figure out how much more union workers make in the same field and continue the build with the extra budget.
Ahhhhhh never been this early before! My grandpa was a teacher and he passed away a year ago. He was the kindest person in the whole world and I love him so much ❤
I LOVE THE DECORATION!!! Beautiful ♥️😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'd love to see an artist/painter's house or a bookworm's house :D I think it's gonna look good with a touch of personalities as artist/bookworm usually are creatives
In my country teacher salaries are pretty low but they also vary wildly. That's because a teacher can pick up a number of hours, from as little as 8 per week. there's also several "ranks" a teacher can have (they have to pass them, usually also includes an inspection of a class). Also varies whether or not you're a teacher for primary school or university and so on.
I just started the series, but I think it would kinda be cool for you to do 3 builds for each career, level 1, level 5 and level 10. So that would be entry, mid, and very experienced in real life working terms. I think it would be cool to kinda see that progression. I know it would be more work and time, but I think it could be cool
I was about at 45000 when I first started, so this was honestly pretty accurate
I love this series so much, you should do a vet’s house next 💕💕🫶🏻
I’ve been stalking your channel eagerly for the next episode ❤ Let’s go 🎉🎉🎉🎉
My aunt just retired after 40 years of teaching kindergarten. One of the bottom 5 US states for education, made under $35k by the time she retired. Health insurance was horrible and she lived paycheck to paycheck. Barely scrapes by now and is completely worn out. The last Christmas before she retired, she got out of the hospital after a weeklong stay and went straight to the store to spend her last few dollars on ingredients for Rudolph pancakes for the class party. Sweetest, most loving woman in the world who did everything for her kids despite the conditions and her own health battles, including a lifelong fight against severe depression. If I won the lottery, I’d buy her a house with A/C and a new mattress and take her on a real vacation. Teachers deserve so much more.
What a nice house!❤❤ I really have fun watching this and thrilled every time the budget is running low 😂
Love it! And you didn’t use debug either to stay in budget. Great job!
I love how you haven’t used debug landscaping to make it more realistic.
I LOVE this series! I recommend that you should build a lawyers home next❤️
In Germany as a primary school teacher you get 3500€ (3850$) per month at the start of your career. The income increases with more experiance.
A doctor's, police, or artist for the next episodes. love your builds gives me inspiration. Thanks
Down here in Brazil it varies a lot (wether you work for municipal, state,.or federal public institutions, or private schools).
Here in the state where I live, a teacher working for the stat gets paid about around 48-52 thousand reais a year (that would be around 10 thousand dollars) to work 44 hours a week.
This house is so cute! please post it in the gallery :)
Love this series. Keep it going!
Ok :))
My only nitpick is the lack of a storage closet / laundry room for the washing machine, storing the cleaning stuff and vacuum cleaner, etc. Otherwise, it slays!
Random challenge idea. You should look up prices of items and try to match it w the sims.
Ex. A couch on ikea is 400 find a couch that's 400 or around it
Middle school teacher in rural Michigan here. My first year I made about $32k, now in my 5th year I’m just above $40k.
ouuu, Lawyer!! Im obsessed with academia style builds but, up to you hun.
